Optinet 7

On-Line Administration
OPTI-NET 7.0 makes life easier for administrators. Now there is no need to dismount the file system to add or remove CDs, because administration is handled on-line. This means no downtime for users!

Express Caching
With Express Caching, CD tower and jukebox users can now have hard disk speed. And CD jukebox users can manage their CDs so that the most frequently accessed discs have the fastest retrieval times. OPTI-NET 7 is now up to twice as fast as the nearest competitor in delivering data to clients. Using OPTI-NET's Express Caching, administrators can copy the hottest CDs to hard disk and still access the CDs from the OPTI-NET volume.

Usage Reporting
Now, administrators can track the most frequently accessed CDs and devices, then set cache accordingly. Detailed reports make it easy to manage usage and optimize configuration.

Enhanced Graphical User Interface
Building on our industry-leading ease-of-use, OPTI-NET 7.0 adds new menu and task bar items, making system administration even easier. The look and functionality of the GUI is similar to the familiar Microsoft Explorer interface. New features include:
In-Line Editing - highlight text in the GUI and change the text without going into the properties box.
Animated Graphics - easy-to-understand status information keeps administrators informed of all activities.
Multi-Processing GUI - enables administrators to inventory CDs, express cache CDs, create CD groups, and alias names, all at the same time.
Multiple Views - OPTI-NET allows administrators to view by CDs, device, group, or express cache. Now it's much easier for administrators to find the information they are looking for.
Drag and Drop - OPTI-NET allows administrators to drag and drop items from a source to a target destination. This feature makes it quick and easy for administrators to manage all their CDs. It also supports long file names as well as DOS file names.

Automated Network Recording Options
Users no longer need to record CDs directly from the server. Optional watermarking, polling, and job scheduling features allow automated network recording with no administrator intervention.
Watermarking - Eliminates the need for premastering. Using this method, there is no need for clients to create CD images. They simply move the data to a watermark directory predefined by the administrator. When the directory fills up, Opti-Net automatically creates CDs.
Network Polling - OPTI-NET can act as a CD-R print server. The administrator sets up one or multiple queue directories where the CD server will look for CD-R "print jobs." After clients submit print jobs, the server finds and automatically processes them. This eliminates the need for administrator intervention. It's as easy as printing to a network printer.
Job Scheduling - Administrators have the option to select a time to begin processing print jobs in order to minimize impact on the server. For example, an administrator can schedule 10 jobs to be processed between midnight and 6:00 a.m., or whenever the demand for the CD-R device is at it lowest. This feature clearly maximizes the efficiency of the CD-R storage device.
